 Wooops. This one should be correct (hopefully):

select sum(case sign(inv_dt - trunc(sysdate, 'YEAR'))
                         when 1 then ord_tot
                         when 0 then ord_tot
                         else 0
                      end) TY,
              sum(case sign(inv_dt - trunc(sysdate, 'YEAR'))
                         when -1 then ord_tot
                         else 0
                      end) LY     from ar_inv_hdr
  where inv_dt between add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'YEAR'), -12) and sysdate

Hi again,
    Development question.  User wants the sum of all the purchase orders for this year and last year.  I'm trying to get it in the same select statement.   I want something like this, but don't know how to get it.

select sum(ord_tot) "TY Invoiced Totals",
       sum(ord_tot) "LY Invoiced Totals"
from   ar_inv_hdr
where  inv_dt between trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY') and sysdate
and    inv_dt between trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY')-1 and trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY')-365

This, obviously, doesn't do what i want, but it's where i've gotten to so far.  Do i need to select from the same table twice?

Thanks,
Lyall
